One day a Native grandfather said to his grandson, "There are two wolves fighting inside all of us - the wolf of fear and hate, and the wolf of love and peace."
The grandson asked, "Which one will win?"
The grandfather replied, "The one we feed."

"A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe. A part limited in time and space. One experiences oneself, ones thoughts and feelings, as something seperate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of ones consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures."
-Albert Einstein

"It is possible to discover the correct path to take, as if there were footprints in the sand from those who have gone before. Study the history of previous cultures, the ancient ones who have provided witness to inner silence, beauty, light and benediction.
Do not follow the ways of the future cultures who only wish to pass on weapons of destruction more horrible with every generation.
Such people have become slaves of their own fear alone."

And everyone's dancing now

"Have you ever lived through a day
where the littlest things,
in the littlest ways,
made you feel you were blessed?
And if you died right then,
well, you know you'd be missed,
but there's no better state
to cease to exist,
and you wouldn't feel sad,
and you wouldn't resist,
because you knew what you'd had
and were thankful for it..."

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥&hea rts;
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all your laughter, and weep, but not all your tears.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
These things he said in words. But much in his heart remained unsaid. For he himself could not speak his deeper secret.
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of seperation.
-Kahlil Gibran, from The Prophet

"Please tell me it will be OK..."
"Welcome to Earth, young man. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of: Goddamn it, you've got to be kind!"

Albert Einstein was asked one day by a friend "Do you believe that absolutely everything can be expressed scientifically?"
"Yes, it would be possible," he replied, "but it would make no sense. It would be description without meaning - as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation in wave pressure."

Life's so fragile,
